After dining at the 8 in Hong Kong, I was not overwhelmed.
For two people the total came to $250.00 which was by no means expensive, but the food was okay, not great. I actually returned my sweet and sour pork, as the pork was literally pieces of fat with no meat attached. They were gracious and took the charge off the bill. The service was excellent, but I wished I had tried the other three star at the same location. I would not go back there.

It should have been a year of celebration for Copenhagen restaurant Geranium, which in February became the first Danish eatery to earn three Michelin stars. But the restaurant is facing pressing questions over hygiene after it was fined 20,000 kronor (£2,300) by the country’s food safety authority.

Geranium had been storing fresh shellfish, such as oysters, crayfish and scallops, in temperatures that were too warm for too long, the Danish food administration, Fødevarestyrelsen, wrote after an inspection.

Two walk-in coolers also had “black, green and white splotches growing on the underside of shelves and on packaged pickled garlic”, according to a report dated 29 September but picked up by Danish media only on Thursday.

Forgot to previously mention Le Gavroche +
We dined there a few years back and it was amazing.
I didn't have the required jacket when we entered, and they were kind enough to find one for me to wear while dining.

There is only one thing worse than being served a terrible meal: being served a terrible meal by earnest waiters who have no idea just how awful the things they are doing to you are. And so, to the flagship Michelin three-star restaurant of the George V Hotel in Paris, or the scene of the crime as I now like to call it. In terms of value for money and expectation Le Cinq supplied by far the worst restaurant experience I have endured in my 18 years in this job. This, it must be said, is an achievement of sorts.
